Far From Home

Submitted by: Emilie Nicole Melanson

The reason why I picked this photo as my entry is because it was one of my first photos starting photography. Usually when you start something, after awhile you get better and you look back at your old art and see how far you've come. With this picture, I still love it as much as the day I took it. It also kind of represents who I am. I love the country. Whenever I just want to get away and be by myself, I come here into this field. It's refreshing and a wonderful place to think.

What does creativity mean to you?

Creativity to me is freedom of expression, telling a story without words, being about to be yourself without fear of judgement, and being everything you can be.

What do you love about art, photography, or your own creative passion?

What I love about photography is being able to take what's in front of you, whether it be attractive or not, and make it beautiful and appreciated by the world. It could be the smallest thing like a bug that most people would consider a pest, but when you really get close and see it for what it is, it's beautiful.
